April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

Janitor@FuzzAmorous, https://e621.net/static/takedown please!
Even if I know this is artists account, I cannot comply with false flags. Takedowns are also handled much faster, more disgreedly and better confirmation of situation, meaning we can then enforce deletion on future uploads of same thing.
...always tag edits as edit and add in description of what kind of edit it is.
When writing this you have given absolutely zero information to post itself wheter this is official alt version or edit, nor even where it originates. This is exactly what leads to wrong decisions on posts, accidental deletions of original versions, extremely angry artists, etc.
Only after the post is in danger of getting deleted you happen to muster comment that it's actually edit.
